Taurus PT-738 TCP .380 ACP Two-Tone Micro Pistol – Pink Polymer Frame, Matte Black Stainless Slide, 6+1
The Taurus PT-738 TCP is a lightweight, micro-sized .380 ACP pistol built in Florida and discontinued in the mid-2010s. Weighing roughly 10 oz unloaded, it combines a matte black stainless slide with a factory pink polymer frame, giving buyers a distinctive two-tone finish in a package small enough for pocket carry. A last-round slide-lock feature, uncommon among its peers when released, adds practical appeal for those who appreciate immediate lock-back feedback.

Introduced in 2009, the PT-738 TCP was Taurus’s answer to the surge in demand for ultra-compact .380 pistols. Its internal-hammer, single-action-only system delivers a consistent trigger pull while keeping the slide profile smooth for easy draw from pockets or ankle rigs.
The pistol’s slide is machined from stainless steel and finished in matte black, resisting corrosion without adding weight. Rear cocking serrations provide positive grip during administrative or emergency manipulations.
The molded pink polymer frame weighs next to nothing yet houses the Taurus Security System keyed lock and a loaded-chamber indicator—features that enhance safety without complicating operation. Integral fixed sights are cut low to prevent snagging while still offering a usable sight picture.
A 6-round single-stack magazine feeds the 2.84-inch stainless barrel, and the slide locks open after the last round, aiding reload speed and confirming an empty gun at a glance. For shooters who need maximum concealability with functional controls, this discontinued TCP variant remains a practical choice.
